Gamification is already being implemented in businesses, what can we learn from that?

  • 90% of employees say gamification makes them more productive.
  • Employees report a 60% increase in engagement with a gamified work experience.
  • Organizations that implement gamification strategies are seven times more profitable than those that don’t use them.

    What Are Gamification Strategies for Business?
  • You can’t keep funding big rewards over the long-term. (Remember what we just talked about above?)
  • It can create false incentives. In other words, people end up cutting corners just for the win.

In this article, we can see that gamification tactics are already being used in the workplace. Not only that but these methods are very successful and are producing great results for businesses. I would not be surprised if we start seeing gamification methods in business more and more frequently.  However, what can we learn from this article regarding gamification? To me, it seems clear that people are heavily motivated by things like competition, roadmaps, or a points and rewards system. In this article I see a clear link from gamification to productivity but is there/could there be a link from gamification to education and literacy in a certain topic?  I suspect there is. Is there an overlap in business gamification tactics with education gamification? How can we take these tactics and strategies and apply them to education and financial literacy?
